Omron Electronic Components has introduced a non-contact MEMS thermal sensor that it claims can detect the presence of humans in an area without the need for movement. The sensor is intended as an ...

Researchers have developed a highly sensitive method for detecting hotspots in the environment, such as bushfires or military ...

Developed as an alternative to passive infrared (PIR) sensors, STMicroelectronics has launched its ultra-low-power STHS34PF80 IR sensor for human-presence and motion detection in alarm and security ...

Infrared sensors, which act as the "seeing" component in devices such as LiDAR for autonomous vehicles, 3D face recognition ...

Recently, the progress of uncooled infrared (IR) sensors has been remarkable due to microelectronic systems (MEMS)-based pixel structure, in which free standing thermal isolation structures are ...

Passive InfraRed sensors (PIRs) are electronic devices which are used in some security alarm systems to detect motion of an infrared emitting source, usually a human body. All objects, living or not, ...

As the U.S. Army produces third-generation forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensors, officials are exploring emerging capabilities that might be integrated into fourth-generation systems. FLIR ...

Millions of infrared sensors are sold each year for communications and sensing systems, and they quietly power many of the technologies that underpin modern society. Even though we can’t see the ...

The combined weight of the precision non-contact infrared sensors from Dexter Research, the ST-60 and the 2M, is less than an ounce. The International Space Station is intended to be a laboratory, ...

Thermal infrared (IR) energy is emitted from all things that have a temperature greater than absolute zero. Human eyes, primarily sensitive to shorter wavelength visible light, are unable to detect or ...
